The Imaginary Friend

It was the first day for Katie at The Dursleys high school in new York. Katie was a typical girl who loved to wear pink . Her long hair often disturbed everyone because of the way she walked . She wears big circle glasses , has long hair and was extremely quite. It was a enriching morning when Miss Lisa , Katie's aunt came and said Katie to go to school. Her face was becoming pale. On the way to school , she met many girls of the high school which didn't seem friendly towards Katie. Katie just ignored them. She reached the school thinking something deeply . She went to the principal cabin and asked the details of the school house she was gonna be put. There were four houses in the Dursleys high school - the magnificent, the enriching , the enlightened and last but not least the wise house. Katie was in the enlightened house. There were the most no. Of students in the enlightened house . Katie wanted to talk to the pupils and want to make friends but can't because of her shy nature and the behavior of the students towards her. She was comfortable to the teachers only. No one ever tried to talk to her and often ignored her as she wasn't popular in the school. This wasn't gud.
In the time of lunch also no one ever come to talk her as there were too many new admissions which became popular due to their studies or any other co -scholastic activities.
Katie was fair in studies but didn't took part in any other activity instead the one which was compulsory nor she ever went to any trip organized by the school.
Loneliness suddenly became her best friend as she had no siblings and was the only one living in New York from her family with her aunt due to few family disputes.
One warm afternoon , when her 1 st term exams were nearly at an end , Madam Polliana , their English teacher had given them an essay to write on the topic -My friend.
It was a difficult task for Katie to write as she didn't had any friend. But still she tried to attempt it.
The next morning , Madam Polliana came marching towards the classroom with a broad smile on her face and carrying a huge bundle of papers which were the essays she had given to the class yesterday.
She entered the class and everyone greeted her including Katie.
Madam Polliana requested Katie specifically to came in front of the class . Katie at first looked shy but obeyed the order. Madam asked her to read the essay which she had written yesterday . Katie was shocked to listen this as she haven't got so much attention in her school life yet and thought that whether its a dream or not and so was the whole class. Everyone were staring at her and it seemed that Katie stucked out like a sore thumb . She begun reading the essay with a low voice but suddenly raised it and was audible to the whole class when Madam Polliana prompted her to read loudly. The essay started as "On a very warm and enriching morning, I and a girl named Angelina met in a playground and soon became friends. Angelina was dark in colour but looked very pretty. Her straight long hair touched her shoulders whenever she plays. She was a south Indian girl who lived in New York with her small but a very happy and prosperous nuclear family .We went to play together , went to canteen together and became best friends. Our house was not near, but we didn't bother to take the phone number as well because we knew that we always met in the play ground .The most spectacular thing which I loved about her was that her way of taking everyone's comments on her dark skin colour positively. I asked her why u always take everything so lightly even if someone teasing u on Yr skin colour?
She replied to me that she was proud to have such a skin colour and said that " Black is always beautiful ". This line touched my heart and a moment came when we had separated as her father's transfer was in Germany . We even didn't knew each other's phone no. ! And so our friendship ended . She even didn't wrote me a letter , and so did I as I didn't knew her new address in Germany nor did she ever dare to tell me about this . I got to know the news of her father's transfer to Germany from their neighbours. This was truly heart breaking for me as I considered her as my best friend . The reason of her of not writing any letter had went with her. And this was my best friend which I ever had in my whole life!."

The essay ended with silence while Katie was feeling so nervous about her imaginary essay and thought that whether her essay was good or not, whether anyone liked the essay or not and so many questions like this was flooding Katie's mind .

Between the raising silence and the nervous Katie , a round of applause and a proudfull pat on Katie's back was given by this principal mam who was standing silently behind and was listening the essay. Madam Polliana asked eagerly " Is that friend of yrs one of the students of our school ? Is she present here ? Does she lived near Yr house ? Are your parents in touch with her ?"
And so many such questions were raised by everyone but Katie replied in tears after listening all these questions she couldn't stop her tears and said sobbingly " I -I do not know , I-I never h-had a friend l-like her !"
She continued " I-I never h-had any friend , l-loneliness was my best friend I ever had . T-the friend which I-I had w-written in the e-essay was an imaginary f-friend . There is n-no girl n-named A-Angelina . It was j-just my imagination.

The class was nonplussed after listening this statement even the teachers were, everyone thought were they to rude towards her ? And realised their mistake but then a voice raised from behind... it was the group of those girls who Katie found on her way to the school on her first day whom she considered unfriendly, but now ...she was shocked to listen the statement by one of the group's girl " From now onwards , in any essay on the topic friend u will not write an imaginary friend as from today u will have plenty of friends including our grp as well. Would become our friend ?"
Katie stopped sobbing and agree happily the proposal and gave a tight hug to that girl and she finally had a friend for ever!.

The End!
Thanku
